- Step 1: In a tall jug, add the garlic clove, olive oil, and toasted pine nuts. Blend with an immersion blender until roughly combined.
- Step 2: Next, add the basil, a pinch of salt, and the grated Parmesan. Pulse the mixture until it comes together, ensuring the pesto retains some texture. You don’t want it to be too smooth.
- Step 3: If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can use a mortar and pestle or a stand blender to make the pesto.
